Manchester derby – Player-by-player tweets

Manchester United

De Gea

Is David De Gea on the field? Can someone get him a comfortable chair?

Valencia

Valencia has done all right going forward so far but still shaky going the other way. It's almost like he's a winger and not a full-back.

Schneiderlin 

Thought Schneiderlin was awesome, everything I hoped he'd be in these games. Travesty he didn't start at Arsenal.

Schweinsteiger

Schweinsteiger was so intelligent and positive on the ball. Worked his bollocks off.

— Rich C (@RichRedVoices) October 25, 2015

Mata

Mata was subbed because he wasn't working Well with Valencia. Valencia was doing all the work at the right.

Herrera

Great quote today at the pub:

"Where's Herrera?"
"Nullified by the philosophy."

Martial

Martial spending the whole game on the touchline is a crime against humanity.

Rooney

Can't back up Wayne any more, the captaincy has made him a liability. Van Gaal drops Darmian, Carrick, Blind, but never Rooney. Why? Captain

Subs:

Lingard

Lingard looked good. Maybe he should have started. Did more than Mata.

Darmian

Of course Darmian came on for 10 pointless minutes to make sure a bloke with a clean sheet didn't get subbed into my fantasy team…

Manchester City

Hart

Happy with the point. Otamendi and Kompany looked solid and great work rate from both Fernys. Joe Hart MOM for me #PointTaken #mcfc @mcfc

Kolarov

Few people strike a dead ball better than Kolarov.

— Gabriele Marcotti (@Marcotti) October 25, 2015

Fernando

See how Fernando shuffled across to not only to mark Darmian but also stop the angle of the pass? Cambiasso circa 2009/10 esque.

— Ahead of the Curve (@mediocentr0) October 25, 2015

Fernandinho

Fernandinho was excellent that first half. Wayne Rooney was Wayne Rooney levels of bad.

Bony

If Bony qualifies for any performance related pay this week he's got the best contract in the world.

Summary:

The dullest most lifeless Manchester derby ever. A shameful passion-free example of the snuffing out of tradition by corporate PL football.
